Log out Redirect Not Working

On your site, I have tried multiple times to log in and log out with my Facebook credentials and it is redirecting me to the home page with all the pages I've tried. Please note, if you are running into this problem on a site other than droneographyhubnetwork.com/ please let me know.

1. Which URL are you on when you log in? I found that if I logged in via the 'Social network' tab on your site, if I went to any other tabs on your site like 'Hire' and 'Find Work', it didn't seem like I was logged in. Vice versa, if I logged in on something other than Social Network, I wasn't logged into the Social Network section. This seems like strange behavior for me, but I'm not sure if this is intended or not.
2. Are you logged in via a social network or with Joomla credentials?
3. Which URL are you on when you try to log out?
4. When you log out, are you logging out from the button at the very top right of the page, or something else?

I need to narrow down more reproducible steps, since it appears to be working for me.

What kind of link are you using for the logout menu link? My guess is that the menu item you created is an external URL type link and that may be what's causing the problem. Right now, I think our logout code only works for standard 'interior' Joomla menu items.

Let me know and we'll see what we can do to help.

Thanks,

Alright.. I just looked through our code and Joomla's code. I don't think what you want to do is possible. It's not SCLogin that is forcing the user to the home page, it's Joomla itself. When you click logout in the SCLogin module, we redirect to the Joomla user component and instruct it to log the user out. There is a check in the logout routine that verifies that the user will be redirected to an 'internal' URL. If not, it redirects the user to the home page.

I'd recommend checking this against the standard mod_login module to see if you can redirect to an external link using that module. If not, I think it may be a lost cause unless you want to edit Joomla core files. That's a solution, but you'd need to re-do the change every time you upgrade Joomla. The specific code is in the /components/com_users/controller/user.php file. In there, around line 107 is:

if (!JUri::isInternal($return))
{
$return = '';
}

// Redirect the user.
$app->redirect(JRoute::_($return, false));[/code]
You may be able to uncomment that check and/or force the redirect to whatever URL you want to there.

I hope that helps,
Alex
